About What Ability
What Ability is an NDIS-registered support service that has support workers across the country, some of which are professional athletes.
Founder Steve Dresler saw the benefits first-hand of athletes as support workers. Having faced early retirement through injury, What Ability is the evolution of Steve’s innate desire to create a positive impact amongst his peers. He has built a community connecting with people living with disabilities.
